L260 brakes

[David Page]

I noticed that my when my split brakes are locked they aren't coming backup all the way. When I separate them the left one stays down some. I can pull it backup but it goes hard. When stepping down on it, it doesn't go easy and the brake doesn't hold like the other side. I disk connected it at what appears to be the Lever brake cam #020 on the parts list. It is hard to read the numbers when I blow it up big enough to see it well. So it appears to be something inside of the brake assembly that must not be moving well. I have the gaskets( collars) because I wanted to take it apart and see if the brake pads are alright. Now I'm wondering what other parts should be on hand. Any educated guesses? Can't tell what part the lever is attached to inside.

I think the part you're referring to is called the brake cam. It causes the shoes to spread when the lever rotates it. There are also springs that could be broken or disconnected.

From the parts breakdown it looks like I need a brake cam part # 32240-28243. In have emailed some of the places that may have used parts. Hopefully someone will have it. Trying to get some other inside parts including brake shoes.

I found a used brake cam and other parts at Allstate Ag Parts hopefully that will take care of it.
